The Sudan’s First Vice President and President of the government of Southern Sudan (GoSS), Salva Kiir Mayardit, announced that the July 30th day will be a national holiday in entire southern Sudan to be observed annually as "National Martyr’s Day".Analysis: This is not the first time that Sudan’s First Vice President and President of the government of Southern Sudan, Salva Kiir Mayardit, announces a "public holiday henceforth" on the date of that holiday, at a major public speech (see our news story of May 17). It is surely a crowd-pleaser, but whether he will come through on that promise remains to be seen.
